50th Anniversary Limited Edition Super Deluxe Box Set!
180g 2LP, 2CD, Blu-Ray & 7" Vinyl Single!
Remixed from the Original Tapes by Paul Hicks!
Includes Previously Unreleased Studio Outtakes & Demos!

Living in the Material World, George Harrison's highly praised second solo album of original music following the Beatles' 1970 dissolution, recently marked its 50th anniversary. With lyrics underscoring his enduring exploration of spiritual themes, the album resonated deeply with audiences. Just five weeks after its May 1973 release, both the LP and its single "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" held the top spots simultaneously on the US album and single charts. Upon release, Rolling Stone described it as a "pop classic," a work that "stands alone as an article of faith, miraculous in its radiance."

Lovingly overseen by Dhani and Olivia Harrison, Living in the Material World has now been completely remixed from the original tapes for a stunning suite of 50th anniversary releases. Remixed by 3x GRAMMY Award-winning engineer Paul Hicks, the new mix elevates the album with a sonic upgrade, delivering a sound that's brighter, richer and more dynamic than ever before.

Limited to 5,000 units globally, the Super Deluxe Edition box set features the album on 2LP 180g vinyl and 2CD, along with 1 x Blu-ray, which includes the newly remixed original album and a bonus disc containing 12 previously unreleased Harrison tracks, featuring early renditions of every song on the main album. Additionally, the set includes an exclusive 7" single of the never-before-heard recording of "Sunshine Life for Me (Sail Away Raymond)," featuring Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, and Rick Danko from The Band, alongside Ringo Starr.

Housed in a rigid slipcase, the box set contains a beautiful 60-page hardcover book curated by the Harrison Estate, with unseen imagery and memorabilia from the era, handwritten lyrics, studio notes, and tape box images. Also included is a 12-page Recording Notes booklet, drawing from the original Living in the Material World production notes, photographs, and reel-to-reel session tapes housed in the George Harrison Archive. For the first time, the Harrison archive team offers an in-depth, chronological account of the album's creation, revealing insights that have never been shared with the public before.
